An interesting twist with mysticism and magic going up against our lead heroic partners. Was nice to see Extrano debut as part of DC Comics Rebirth.

He was one of DC Comics first openly gay heroes back in the day as part the New Guardians.

He looks more contemporary in 2016.

Henry Bendix, the Weatherman form old Stormwatch and Authority lore as I recall, is also now trading in mysticism and magic by sharing a mystic gun with this cabal.

And, Midnighter scours the globe and eventually finds him.

However, Midnighter must choose between offing Bendix and saving his partner Apollo from…

…the clutches of…

…hell and…

…the devil?

Could this be Neron’s DC Comics Rebirth debut?

So…

A lot of questions about Wildstorm Reborn vis a vis DC Comics Rebirth, but I imagine Apollo, Midnighter and Bendix are off the table for Warren Ellis. That leaves them as fertile ground in DC Rebirth. This was a compelling debut issue with magic likely being able to harm to Apollo ala Superman. So that cliffhanger works. Solid, but at times a bit inaccessible, story and great art. Looking forward to issue #2. 7 out of 10.

GladiusAlphaYeah, sure, solid ratings. Just way lower compared to when Crawford was on the show, eh?

Keon MarekDon't blame the Inhumans for this since this comic ignores continuity, and has plenty of plot holes in it. Really it makes out Black Bolt that he is nothing but a voice, but we just got a Black Bolt...

Keon MarekBoth created by Jack Kirby, ya this whole mini I feel writers at Marvel should be allowed to cherry pick what happened and what didn't because it is the only way this story works. Ok that's a lie...
